We're missing the boat on AI. And young people and workers, in my opinion, are about to pay the price. And so there's going to be a political backlash as a result. WARN act, the WARN act itself, it seems to me it's worn out its usefulness. It was designed, like our labor laws, 1930s. These things were designed for a world that no longer exists. Unemployment insurance seems to me to have worn out its benefit. (26:27–26:34)
